How to invite Co-Applicants

Depending on the call, there may be the option of inviting co-applicants to a given application.

Co-applicants participate actively in organizing and implementing the project and receive a share of the grant. The project description should clearly describe the role of any co-applicant(s) and the budget should clearly indicate the co-applicant's share of the total budget. Co-applicants must be invited through NORMA and subsequently enter their details in the system.

Please follow the instructions in NORMA on how to invite co-applicants to your application.

When the co-applicant accepts the invitation and registers as a user in NORMA, they will gain access to the application. In addition, they will be assigned an Applicant Details form. This can be found in the Applicant Portal, under My Tasks. With this task, co-applicants should input details, such as their institutional affiliation, work and publication history, and application history with NNF. Co-applicants will only be able to edit their own form and can collaborate with the main application. The main applicant, on the other hand, can review and edit all Applicant Details forms for the application, including those for co-applicants.

The main applicant is able to cancel a co-applicant invitation by opening the invitation window (envelope icon) and clicking the X. 

The main applicant is also able to withdraw a co-applicant by opening the corresponding co-applicant's Applicant Details form and clicking the Withdraw from Application button.

Please note: only one person can edit the application at a time, so it is important to coordinate activities when working on the application.
